Family law agreements, like cohabitation agreements, marriage agreements and separation agreements, are contracts, just like the contract you might have with an employer, a landlord or a company you rent a car from: each party promises to do something in exchange for something the other party promises to do, and both parties expect that they'll be held responsible for fulfilling their promises. In family law, contracts like these are used to resolve the issues that come up when a relationship ends, although cohabitation agreements and marriage agreements are sometimes also used to decide how a relationship will be managed. | Family law agreements, like cohabitation agreements, marriage agreements and separation agreements, are contracts, just like the contract you might have with an employer, a landlord or a company you rent a car from: each party promises to do something in exchange for something the other party promises to do, and both parties expect that they'll be held responsible for fulfilling their promises.
